There is nothing about it that makes sense for being a real printing error. Just the different print angle of Mantle compared to the back of other card don't make sense. Yes that doesn't look like much on one card but now imagine the sheet that is a little over 12 times as tall and close to 23 times as wide. The full sheet corners would be WAY off. I could go on and on and on about everything I believe are huge red flags. Maybe in hand I would have a different opinion but I highly doubt it and I have owned about every type of print error imaginable.
